Hmm, with the fog of a horrific story like the shooting deaths of 20 elementary school children from the ages of 5 to 10 and six other adults, it is some what understandably that there might be some info got wrong. However, the following fact is kind of an important one and has not yet been addressed or brought up during this mornings police press conference, was Nancy Lanza a teacher, a substitute or associated with Sandy Hook Elementary School?

UPDATE II: I had just heard it reported again on FOX News TV, it is being confirmed that Nancy Lanza, the deceased mother of shooter Adam Lanza, was not affiliated or working with the Sandy Hook Elementary School.

UPDATE III: Good grief, the mom was not a teacher or affiliated with the elementary school, so that means that this nut just liked to gun down little kids? Oh dear God.

[...] II: It is now being confirmed that Nancy Lanza, the murdered mother of shooter Adam Lanza, was not affiliated with Sandy Hook Elementary School. Sorry, but this is not a gun control issue as Adam Lanza did not purchase these guns, they were [...]
